Rough Draft

Cause you bring out the best in me,
Like no one else can do.

Today took a whole load of troubles off my mind. Weekends seem more like an escape from reality these days, where I get to spend time with people whom I cherish very much in my heart. I may have made some of the worst choices in life, but I've made some of the best friends there could ever be. And then, there's you. (:

I made the right decision in attending the recent few prayer meetings. I've been feeling dry the past few months and prayers to the heavens above are the only thing that's been keeping me going this entire week. I know they've been going unanswered all this while, but something in me tells me to stay strong, have faith, and push on. It wasn't for me to choose though. There's nothing much I could do, as my body and mind chose to endure through the week, battered and bruised, physically and emotionally.

Yet, the last day of March 07' ended on a high note. Despite the many negatives over the month, the only condolences I was offered were through the friendships forged over years. After attending the prayer meeting today, I found myself in the movies watching the life of a man so complicated unfold. What really got me thinking wasn't so much of the number 23, it was more of a how ignorance is bliss sort of thing. And even if the story twisted and turned throughout, it ended with the simplest, yet most beautiful ending. Love does change a person's heart, and it certainly changed yours and mine.

After which, I played pool with Jethro, Junle and Leonard. It's a wonder how a short pool session is able to flood our lives with smiles and laughter. Maybe it's a guy's thing. And I do admit I was a little high, cause for some reason, I am a very happy boy today. (: I took off at half past eleven to take the long walk/ride home with my primary school friends. And while photos capture memories, memories capture the feathers of bliss that quiver in the air.

But all good things come to an end. It's 3.14 a.m now. Before I dive into my bed and pull the covers, I wish the world a silent and peaceful night.

And yes, your smile that made my day remains etched on my mind.
I wonder why.

That's why I'm by your side.
That's why I love you.
